Classic Margarita
It’s National Tequila Day! So let’s celebrate with my favorite cocktail ever, Classic Margaritas! I realized that I’ve shared my Pineapple Margaritas – which has gone totally wild on Pinterest, plus Frozen Peach Margaritas and Easy Blackberry Margaritas but never the classic, so here you go!
How to Make a Margarita:
For years I was in charge of making the margaritas for all of the get togethers. I always made them with frozen limeade, tequila and triple sec which is totally delicious and comes together really quick. Great for serving a crowd.
I have recently discovered how easy it is to make simple syrup. So I made a quick and wonderful lime simple syrup, using fresh lime juice just for these Classic Margarita. I added great tequila and orange liqueur, so simple!! So good I tell you!
The simple syrup can be made ahead of time so these Classic Margaritas can be made spur of the moment or ahead of the party. I also use simple syrup in my easy Strawberry Margarita.
The Casa Noble Crystal Tequila is a well balanced, smooth tequila, ideal for making my favorite margaritas!
Rather you are having a cocktail party, barbecue or your favorite Mexican dinner, margaritas are perfect! I love mine on the rocks but you can blend the margaritas with the ice if you prefer a frozen version, but don’t skip out on the salted rim!
Casa Noble Tequila – pure, premium and handcrafted. Our tequila is outstanding for many reasons – we mature our agave plants longer than what the industry recommends; our process is different – it’s more thoughtful and coaxes the best from the plants and let’s not stop there. Casa Noble uses French white oak barrels to age the tequilas. Yes, you can taste the difference – pure, elegant, complex and refined.
